Camp Four Bouldering Gym — Attraction in Hong Kong

Pretty happy with my experience here, as a tourist, I'd definitely revisit. Only been to 1x other gym in HKG so far. Not a huge place, but bigger than expected where space is a premium in Hong Kong. English speaking staff behind the counter, not very busy mid week when I was there between 1515-1830. Reasonable variety of difficulty between V0 to probably V8+(?). There was a central island with an arch and overhangs, a long L-shape wall and a woodie board though I didn't really take note of the angle. There's hangboards, campus rungs and the like also. When I went, the long L part of the wall was dedicated to ~6 competition problems. Mats looked reasonably clean, but after washing my hands at the end I think I picked up quite a bit of dirt (though I didn't have chalk during the first 1.5 hours, so not sure if that was from the holds or leaning back on my hands while sitting on the mats). Pretty relaxed atmosphere with background music. Pretty comfortable temperature with air cons and fans. My entry was HK$198 at the time (brought my own shoes). Filled in an online waiver and that was it. Maybe a little lax if I was new to climbing, but I'm not sure whether it's because I didn't specify or looked like I climb already. They also let me borrow chalk for free. I think they have chalk bags they lend out for the session as they're tagged with the gym's logo. Photo doesn't show woodie board and short part of the...

A medium sized gym that's very nicely designed, and located just a few minutes walk from City One MTR station exit C. It's a little bit hidden inside Koon Wah Building but really not hard to find once you find the elevator.

The staff are extremely helpful and give clear instructions about safety and introduce the gym when you enter. Camp Four is currently one of 2 gyms in Hong Kong with a mezzanine level overlooking the walls where people can rest, stretch, or just hangout. There is also a large raised platform in the far corner for people to rest.

In terms of the climbing walls, they are a smooth wood finish (no friction for smearing) and feature every type of angle for all types of climbing. They also have a custom symmetrical training board in the corner as well as other training equipment like hangboards and pullup bars.

Routesetting is very good and has a good mix of both typical indoor style and outdoor-esque problems, and there is also a wall currently dedicated to comp style boulders.

One comment would be that the space between the comp and slab walls is not very large so you will need to clear resting climbers out before you try the overhanging comp problems.

Otherwise, a beautiful gym that has ample natural light streaming in, great setting and hold selection....

This is one of my favorite new bouldering gyms amongst the sudden influx of offerings we've been blessed with the last few months.

For islanders it is a bit of a treck but the addition of the new light blue extension makes it very manageable.

The good An ample amount and range of routes, more than enough to last you a whole day routes are well set, beginners will be introduced to technique in a fun way. Intermediate athletes still get to enjoy attempting the advanced routes. And the comp wall contains exciting problems for the beasts. very clearly marked seating areas keeps the place safe very small detailed touches here ans there are pleasent. Training board has foot rungs for progression etc. grading is done by a tape system (v2, v3 = yellow) BUT the staff has still gone to the extent of marking the individual grade on the tape. Makes the wall look clean but you can still differentiate grades. clean, good aircon, friendly staff. good crowd, everyone moves to give dyno routes space when needed

Only complaints (struggling to make some up) toilet is a bit cramped, only 1 basic and toilet stall each. the arch area can get a bit crowded

Well done camp four crew and please keep up...
